Reinforce<\/b><\/h5>\n

a positive, calm, and rational reality with happy art. Image fun, silly dreams during the day, bath time, and before bed. Provide sleep help by journaling their successful, happy dreams and daily engaging in\u00a0happy dream art<\/em>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Discuss<\/b><\/h5>\n

reality vs. imagination for better sleep. Give concrete examples like, “I can sit on my bed, so it is a reality. \u00a0 I cannot physically touch the scary monster in my dream, so it’s my imagination.
